"In this game, for Tottenham Hotspur, the most important defensive task is how to limit the opponent's number one centre-forward, the top scorer of the season, Didier Drogba"

Sky TV commentator, Andy Gray, also mentioned Drogba when he gave his pre-match analysis to help Tottenham Hotspur with his advice, and also saw defending Drogba as a key part of Tottenham's defence.

But the problem is that at this moment, this thick-lipped Ivorian doesn't seem to be aware of being targeted at all, blinking his mouth, and sticking out his tongue from time to time to lick his lips, fiddling with himself as if he is a sexy Dehua, but he doesn't think how hateful his image and posture are in the eyes of others.

At least, in Thiago Silva's eyes, Drogba's image has always been associated with terms such as ferocious, fierce and full of flesh.

Perhaps considering the direct contest between the leader and the second place, the referee of this game is England's chief referee Webber himself, which can also show the importance that the FA and the Premier League attach to this game.

The fans at Stamford Bridge have long regarded Tottenham Hotspur as their number one rival, so every time they encounter Tottenham Hotspur, they will do everything possible to humiliate and attack the visiting team in the stands, and Tottenham Hotspur have clearly become accustomed to the hatred of the Blues fans, and instead of being dissatisfied, they feel happy.

Back then, Ye Qiu coached Tottenham Hotspur in his first season, but he forcibly broke the league championship trophy from Chelsea's hands and handed it to Ferguson, which was so angry that Chelsea fans were almost crazy at that time.

Later, Tottenham Hotspur rose all the way, and Chelsea gradually moved towards a period of stability, and this gap between the two sides also created hatred between fans, coupled with some disputes between Ye Qiu and the player's transfer, which eventually contributed to Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea, a pair of undying enemies in London.

So every London derby between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur will smell very strong and both sides will give their best.

Chelsea's starting line-up for this game is Cesar, who has been brought in from Inter Milan this season, with Ashley Cole, Alex, John Terry and Bosingwa at the back, Essien, Ballack, Frank Lampard and Arshavin in midfield, and Didier Drogba and Anelka up front.

Tottenham Hotspur also did not keep their hands on the line, with Petr Cech in goal, Marcelo, Zygrinski, Thiago Silva and Alves at the back, David Silva, Yaya Toure and David Beckham in midfield, and Ribery, Falcao and Messi in the front three.

"Whether it's Ancelotti or Ye Qiu, for this game, they are all in the first round of the Champions League group stage, and judging from the pre-match remarks of both sides, they are obviously determined to win this game, after all, whoever wins, who will become the league leader"

With Andy Gray's analysis, referee Webber finally blew the whistle for the start of the game.

"The game started, we saw that it was Tottenham Hotspur who kicked off first, the north London team fell to the back in succession, gave Ziglinski, a long pass, gave it to the front, Falcao and Terry competed for the top, Terry got the ball, but Beckham quickly controlled the second drop point and passed to Messi again."

"Messi won the ball on the right flank, faced Ashley Cole, tried to make a breakthrough, the ball was broken, Ashley Cole kicked the ball forward, Ballack headed the ball, but the ball quickly fell to Tottenham Hotspur's feet

"After the opening, the two sides exchanged the ball with each other very quickly, the rhythm was also very fast, there was a lot of intent to fight against each other, if it was really a big fight against the attack, then this game will be very exciting" Andy Gray is afraid that the world will not be chaotic and wish that both sides would go out of their way to play against each other.

Although the beginning of the game was very unrestrained, both sides were familiar with each other, and each other was a very mature overall team, because they were constantly probing, constantly pulling each other, and it seemed lively on the surface, but in fact it did not create many really threatening opportunities, but it just made the fans on the scene and the audience in front of the TV addicted.

Pulling up the pace from the beginning is a strategy formulated by Ye Qiu before the game, because relatively speaking, the pace is fast, and the physical consumption is large, and Chelsea, whether it is a fullback or a single back, has high physical requirements, plus Lampard, Ballack, Drogba and others are already thirty, so in terms of body, Tottenham Hotspur has an advantage.

Twenty-five and thirty years old, two different professional players, both played a game the day before, but the former had a good night's sleep and woke up the next morning to start rejuvenating again, but the latter obviously couldn't because he needed a longer recovery time.

Of course, this is during the break, but also during the game.

Therefore, Ye Qiu's strategy from the beginning was to speed up the tempo, force you into a war of attrition, and then overwhelm you through this attrition, because if you simply want to crush an opponent in terms of strength, it is almost impossible.

After the tempo was picked up, the more attacking Tottenham Hotspur began to gain some advantage, Alves took the lead with a long-range shot from the edge of the box, which scareled Cesar and made the Brazilian goalkeeper break out in a cold sweat, and it was also the first shot of the whole game.

But immediately afterwards, Tottenham Hotspur created another chance, this time it was David Silva and Ribery's one-two combination, the Spanish midfielder kicked a scalpel-like through ball, Falcao countered offside to form a single knife, but this time Cesar reacted faster, abandoned the goal in advance, and defused Falcao's single knife with his hand.

Two minutes later, Yaya Toure's long-range shot yelled at Cesar again.

The attacking battle that everyone had been expecting didn't seem to be happening, and instead looked more like a one-sided attacking show from Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea seemed a bit passive.

But just as the time entered the thirteenth minute, Ye Qiu walked to the sidelines, made the first adjustment of the game, and stabilized

It's a good thing to take the lead after the opening, but Ye Qiu knows very well that if he continues to let the team attack like this, then soon, Chelsea may threaten Tottenham Hotspur's goal with a counterattack, and may even score, which is extremely unfavorable for Tottenham Hotspur.

Sometimes, a football game is played in rhythm, there is a fast and slow rhythm, so it doesn't mean that you have a brain at the beginning, no matter 3721, it is a good thing to directly press the opponent to play, because you have to consider that the football game has 90 minutes in the second half, and you have to reasonably distribute the physical fitness and player condition.

In fact, it was only when Tottenham's offensive faded that Chelsea launched a counter-attack.

It was also on this counterattack that the first face-to-face battle between Drogba and Thiago Silva finally took place

Conspiracy may be able to achieve results for a period of time, but not for long, only yang conspiracy is the way of sustainable kings.

The reason why Ye Qiu admires Drogba so much is that you can only see Yang Mou from Drogba's body, and you can clearly appreciate what is called overwhelming strength and what is called incomparable advantage.

When Ashley Cole made a long pass from the left and found Drogba accurately, the Ivorian blocked Thiago Silva with his body, and the difference in size between the two was there, Drogba easily blocked the Brazilian behind him, and in the face of Ashley Cole's incoming ball, he directly stopped the ball behind Thiago Silva, and then turned and rushed forward.

As a strong center forward, Drogba has completed the transformation from a first-class center forward to a top center forward under the command of Ye Qiu.

The so-called first-class center is able to hold the ball with his back and make the ball, but the top center is not only able to do this, he must also be able to successfully turn around and directly impact the opponent's defense, which is the top center.

There are many first-class center forwards, but the top center forwards are very rare, and there are only a handful, which is why Drogba is so precious.

So, how do you turn around?

It's a test for all centre-forwards, and according to Drogba's usual thinking, you don't have to be obsessed with a certain way, depending on the situation and the circumstances, depending on the opponent, depending on the route of the ball that your team-mates send you, you can improvise.

What can make Drogba confident enough to ensure that he can be improvised, is his strong physicality and overwhelming strength to fight.

At the very least, this time Thiago Silva was firmly blocked by Drogba, unable to complete the defense around the front, nor could he affect Drogba to receive Ashley Cole's pass, and could only watch Drogba stop the ball behind him.

So, does it mean that Thiago Silva is out of line?

If he is defeated just like that, then Thiago Silva is indeed unworthy of his name, and he does not deserve to be the best defender in Europe, and his battle with Didier Drogba will be completely lost.

In fact, whether it is offensive or defensive, it is nothing more than using one's own experience to play to one's own advantages.

Thiago Silva seemed to be passive just now, but in fact he firmly blocked Drogba's left body, because if Drogba took the ball and turned to the left half of his body, with his position, he just hit the goal with his right foot, which everyone did not want to see, so Thiago Silva kept an eye on this matter.

And now Drogba stopped the ball on the left side of the penalty area, and Thiago Silva was also prepared for it, and the two began to sprint to the ball almost at the same time, as if the two were sprinters rushing up from a starting line, sprinting and sprinting again.

In the end, Thiago Silva, who was more explosive and more agile, got ahead of Drogba and made a decisive tackle to get ahead of Drogba, scooping the ball off the touchline and taking a throw-in to disrupt one of Chelsea's attacks.

Drogba grinned at Thiago Silva, noticing that Nicolas Anelka in the box had run to pick it up, and if Thiago Silva had been a little slower just now, he would have had a dangerous shot when he got the ball and crossed it directly, but the Brazilian had already destroyed the ball in advance.

"Good fellow" Drogba smiled defiantly as he passed Thiago Silva as he got up from the ground.

Yaya Toure and Alves both walked over and pulled up Thiago Silva, who was still shaking his legs a little even now because he had done his best.

Of course, he could feel it, and Drogba was doing his best, otherwise he wouldn't feel threatened.

Unlike Drogba, the Ivorian is capable of grinning at all times, while Thiago Silva seems to be a bit wooden and unsmiling, especially since he has just experienced a direct confrontation with Drogba, which makes him clearly aware of the difficulty of this opponent.

"Be careful, this big man" Yaya Toure is also weak, he wants to help, but he also has his own tasks.

Thiago Silva was already sweating profusely, and after nodding at Yaya Toure, he returned to his position.

Chelsea's throw-in

Ashley Cole ran over quickly, stood on the sidelines, and held the ball high, while Drogba was entangled with Thiago Silva, who desperately tried to keep Drogba under his control, but the Ivorian was not at all as he thought, so Thiago Silva had to follow desperately.

After all, with this distance of the throw-in, with the strength of Ashley Cole, it is possible to throw into the big penalty area at any time to form a chance to score, so Tottenham Hotspur is like a big enemy up and down, very small

In fact, this throw-in is still looking for Drogba.

When Ashley Cole threw the ball out, Drogba used his body to suppress Thiago Silva, stopped on his chest, turned around, and barely picked up his left foot at almost no angle and fired a powerful volley.

All the Chelsea fans in the stadium exclaimed as they seemed to see the goal into the Tottenham Hotspur goal, but fortunately, Cech reacted very quickly and went straight to the ground, saving Drogba's shot in his arms and defusing a crisis.

Thiago Silva gasped, he knew very well that he had taken a slight advantage in the first contest just now, but in the second contest, he ended up completely defeated, and if he adopted this kind of hard-fought defensive style, he had almost no chance of winning against Drogba.

But the problem is that Drogba picks and shoots when he comes hard with you, and what he is best at is hard eating, one-on-one, hard to touch, eat you, use his physical fitness, use his strength to take advantage of his strength, and completely crush you

This morning, when he went to Theobald from his home to gather, Ye Qiu specially chatted with him and mentioned Drogba.

In fact, Ye Qiu has no way to give him any good advice, because defending a center of Drogba's type, except for hard carrying, except for hard support, you have almost no too good and effective methods, because he doesn't have any tricks, all of them are strong and tough tricks, if you can't hold on, you will lose

"You just take him as a test, don't be afraid of him, keep telling yourself that you will be able to defeat him"

Perhaps, Ye Qiu's words have a little bit of spiritual support, but in Thiago Silva's psychology, it really has an effect, because in the past few years, he has grown up under Ye Qiu's incessant encouragement, trust, and support.

He knows better than anyone that Ye Qiu has poured his hard work and energy into him and this team.

Thinking of this, Thiago Silva exhaled heavily and walked slowly, he still needs to continue to be tested by Drogba, as long as this Ivorian giant elephant does not lie down for a day, he cannot fall for a day

Soon, the third leg of the contest between the two sides came again, this time it was Arshavin who took the ball and shook Yaya Toure and passed a ball to Drogba, but Thiago Silva had already predicted this time, as early as when Arshavin was going to shake Yaya Toure, he was ready, so as soon as the ball came, he quickly stepped forward to intercept it, so that Drogba, who wanted to catch the ball, was helpless to pounce.

Not only that, but less than two minutes later, in a pass between Drogba and Anelka, Thiago Silva could not stop it, facing Drogba, who was about to attack head-on, and he made a clean front sliding tackle to destroy Drogba's foot.

Two successive successful defenses allowed Thiago Silva to get the applause of Tottenham Hotspur fans who came to the away side with the team in the stands, at least, in today's football, there are not many central defenders who can defend Drogba, Thiago Silva is the hardest-working and most diligent among them, and he can be regarded as the best one.

But all the fans are not only expecting Thiago Silva to block Drogba's attack, but they are also waiting for Tottenham Hotspur to break down the Chelsea defence, because you just blindly defend, it is useless, if you can't effectively break through the opponent's goal, no matter how good your defense is, it will still be breached.

Ye Qiu said before the game that as long as he kept Drogba and suppressed Chelsea's midfield, Tottenham Hotspur would score in the first half

And in fact, Ye Qiu fulfilled his promise.

By the 37th minute of the first half, the visitors' attacks began to play with a halt to Chelsea's attacks, especially with Didier Drogba being suppressed by Thiago Silva

Alves stepped forward to participate in the attack, forming a two-on-one combination with Messi, after breaking through Ashley Cole on the right side, Messi crossed the front point on the right side, and Falcao in the middle of the penalty area dived in front of the header, 0

It was Falcao's second header of the season, last time against Nemanja Vidic, but this time against the same tall Brazilian centre-back Alex, and both towering centre-backs were clearly powerless to do anything about the dim Colombian centre-forward's header right under their noses.

But instead of giving Tottenham a respite, the goal made Chelsea even crazier
